Why are 3 nucleotides needed for a codon? Because one nucleotide is redundant Because there are 3 different aminoacetyl TRNA synthetase enzymes Because there are 64 amino acids to code for, and 4X4X4 = 64 Because there are 20 amino acids, 3 nucleotides provides enough combinations to code for 20 amino acids
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
